<h2>Impact on interactive console&#8217;s performance<a class="headerlink" href="#impact-on-interactive-console-s-performance" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The default Workspace configuration allows to browse global variables without
slowing the interactive console even with very large NumPy arrays, lists or
dictionaries. The trick is to truncate values, to hide collection contents
(i.e. showing &#8216;&lt;list &#64; address&gt;&#8217; instead of list contents) and to show only
mininum and maximum values for NumPy arrays (see context menu options on the
screenshot at the top of this page).</p>
<p>However, most of the time, choosing the opposite options won&#8217;t have too much
effect on interactive console&#8217;s performance:</p>
